Two coils have a mutual inductance of $0.005\ \text{H}$. The current changes in the first coil according to equation $I = I_0\sin\omega t$, where $I_0 = 10\ \text{A}$ and $\omega = 60\pi\ \text{rad s}^{-1}$. The maximum values of e.m.f. in the second coil in volt will be

  • A
    $2\pi$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $3\pi$
  • C
    $4\pi$
  • D
    $6\pi$

Solution

The induced e.m.f. in the second coil is given by $e = -M \dfrac{dI}{dt}$.

Given $I = I_0\sin\omega t$, differentiating with respect to time gives $\dfrac{dI}{dt} = I_0\omega\cos\omega t$.

Thus, the induced e.m.f. is $e = -MI_0\omega\cos\omega t$.

The maximum value of e.m.f. is $e_{\text{max}} = MI_0\omega$.

Substituting the given values $M = 0.005\ \text{H}$, $I_0 = 10\ \text{A}$, and $\omega = 60\pi\ \text{rad s}^{-1}$:

$e_{\text{max}} = 0.005 \times 10 \times 60\pi = 3\pi\ \text{V}$.

Answer: $3\pi$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
